Style and Concept

What print design styles do you like?

We like styles that are clean, modern and innovative. We like the print newsletters available at http://www.pragprog.com/magazines. This journal appeals to us because it is clean and includes lots of white space. It also has an interesting list of feature article types.

What colors do you want to see in your print design?

What colors do you NOT want to see in your print design?

Bold red and black should be avoided.

What adjectives should best describe your print design?

Innovative, fun, warm/inviting, cutting-edge without being standoffish, kid-like while still remaining professional. Our newsletter should feel as if it's providing the news of tomorrow while not also feeling as if its design will be dated in 1-2 years.

How will you use the print design?

Our current newsletter is delivered in print (10,000) copies and online. The newsletter is mailed to teachers, educational administrators, plus educational R&D institutions, and our funding agencies, including the National Science Foundation.

What content must be included in the print design?

* The Concord Consortiums website is currently being updated (see links at http://creative.isitedesign.us/concord/)... so the new newsletter design should complement the updated website.* The newsletter has been called @Concord.org, though with the new design, we will drop the .org, so the title will be @Concord.* The tagline should be incorporated in the new design Realizing the Educational Promise of Technology.* The new design should be designed to be in full color.* The design should include our company logo has several embedded colors and can be found at http://www.concord.org/about/graphics/* The proposed design should include the following items (as PDF files):1. Sample newsletter cover page2. One sample representative inside page3. One double-page spread
